Incidence of low birth weight in Mexico: A descriptive retrospective study from 2008-2017.

According to the WHO, low birth weight (LBW) affects 15-20% of newborns worldwide. In Mexico, there are no national, state, nor municipal estimates that inform the country's situation over time. The purpose of this study was to estimate the incidence of LBW at the national, state, and municipal...
